REDUCED TO ASHESl
The Central Hotel Succumbs to the
Fiery Fiend

About 3 O'Clock Wednesday morning
the rapid changing of the fire bells
astonished the denizens of our
peaceful city, and soon the crowds
came pouring down the streets in
search of the victim of the wrathful
fire fiend, to find the old Central Hotel
writing in his tolls and Fastening TO
its doom. The old and young, strong
and deerepit, came in numbers, to
give aid or witness the desolation,
from among the crowd of spectators,
while comedy matrons and bewitching
damsels sacrificed their sweet repose
to join in the excitement and witness
the scene of flame, and mid the crack
ling of the burning timbers, falling
of chimneys and leaping of flame many
were the inquiries for the safety of
the family whose home was doomed
and whose effects were being piled
upon the street.
The fire-boys were early at the scene
and with unremitting exertion held
the fire in partial submission, for two
laborious hours and finally conquered
it in the north wing of the house,
thus gaining noble victory for the
COIiBdug NV AAtNhlbOf
was left, however, was so weakened
that for safety the hook and ladder
company RACED il To the ground.
Fortunately for surrounding build
ings there was a 1900 barrel cistern on
the premises TO which the firemen had
access enabling them TO hold down
the flames somewhat and prevent the
firing of other buildings. Ii is also a
pleasing fact that, although the Glad
stone was in close contact with the
burning structure the fire had no visi-
BILE effect upon it, its thick walls and
iron shutters bidding defiance to the
raging element.
The loss is placed at So. 500 on the
building with 800 insurance, leav-
ing loss to Mr.. Rossell of ST. 900 be-
sides loss of rental. Mr.. Wells loss
in furniture is supposed to be about
$500 with no insurance, and a serious
Gripping of his business. 1t is said
Miss Aggie Wells has suffered Sc
verely in loss of wardrobe bseides
a loss of 500 in cash, being forced by
smoke to leave her room in great
haste. The unfortunate have the sim
cere sympathy of the community.
The Central was an old landmark, hav-
ing been built some 81 years ago by
G. w. Cairns, now of Ellsworth, and
was for long time one of the leading
hotels here.
Ii is believed by many that the fire
was the work of an incendiary, as the
fire commenced on the outside of the
wood-shed in pile of stave strips, and
when first seen was running up the
siding onto the shed roof, and the
| presence of kerosene oil at the place
of ignition and the odors of burning
kerosene at the commencement of the
| conflagration are cited as evidence.
1t seems a terrible thing for this com
munity to be forced To believe, and
we must all hope that the city is not
the home of any who would thus ex.
pose life and property; but whatever
the cause of the fire, we can all be
thankful that there was no loss of life
either among the firemen or in the
family of Mr.. Wells, all of whom were
in great danger, and that no bodily
injury to any one can be recorded as
a result of the calamity.
